Always the contrarian, and FWIW I've run Grose Jets in my BJ8 with
no fuel filter for well over 100K miles with no issues. OTOH, I got
a newer set for my BN2 and didn't like the way they operated (the
little ball on top would get stuck). Rumor has it the company was
bought out and quality suffered (shocking, I know--looking at you,
County). <br>
<br>
I'm not a big believer in fuel filters for Healeys; I figure
anything that gets by the little brass 'thimbles' in the carbs will
settle in the float bowls or pass through; better to invest in a
clean tank and new lines if necessary. I cut my Ranger's fuel filter
open at over 100K miles, and all I found was some tiny black flakes,
which I figured came from the plastic tank (filters are absolutely
necessary in FI engines).<br>
